GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix introduces a new, proprietary dsDNA-binding dye that can be used at a higher concentration than SYBR® Green I because it is less inhibitory in an amplification reaction. The dye concentration in the master mix is optimized to produce significantly brighter fluorescence during qPCR than master mixes containing SYBR® Green I. Excitation and emission of the dye are similar to that of SYBR® Green I, so it is compatible with commonly available instrumentation platforms. GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix is a 2X master mix composed of an optimized buffer formulation complete with dNTPs and MgCl2 and features GoTaq® Hot Start. The master mix comes premixed with a low level of CXR reference dye, which is identical to ROX™ reference dye. The master mix is compatible with existing experimental designs and requires addition of only DNA template, target-specific primers and water.
